Bok Choy will keep refrigerated in a plastic bag for several days. To prepare, thoroughly wash and drain just before using. Although baby bok choy can be cooked whole, mature bok choy should be cut for cooking. Trim the leaves from the stalks, slice the stalks crosswise and shred the leaves coarsely.

Best Uses

Serve raw slices in salads. To cook, steam or boil the stalks for 2 minutes, then add the leaves and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the stalks are tender and the leaves just wilted. Drain and serve. Or, stir-fry stalks in oil for 2 to 4 minutes; add leaves and stir-fry for 2 to 3 more minutes.
